Located in the center of downtown Fairborn at 2 West Main Street, Lefty’s Eats & Espresso opened their doors late last week. Offering coffee, latte, cappuccino and espresso, they are more than just a coffee shop.
Owner Lawren Williams, who ran Williams Eatery in Yellow Spring for 10 years before shutting it down, shared his vision with us for a locally owned eatery that offers clean eating, from locally sourced vendors. His place will offer fresh soups and unique flavors on the menu. You won’t find a deep fryer in his 25 seat restaurant, but his salad and sandwich menu will give you lots of options. He shared that since opening last Thursday, “I am overwhelmed by the support and positive response that we have received so far.”
Here’s just a sampling of his menu:

Dayton long ago earned a reputation for being a city that gives back. According to the history of the Dayton Foundation, NCR founder and Chairman John H. Patterson championed innovative projects for the betterment of the community. Joining him in his enthusiasm was his sister-in-law, Julia Shaw Patterson Carnell, and nephew, Robert Patterson, son of John Patterson’s brother, Capt. Robert Patterson, all active community leaders in their own right. A leading businesswoman, Julia Patterson Carnell helped establish the Dayton Art Institute by donating works of art, a mansion that served as the museum’s first home and $2 million towards the construction in 1930 of its current facility.
